- Hey.
- Hey babe, how you feeling? Really great.
What's up? I've just been thinking about how emotional you've been lately.
And how many emotions you have.
Good emotions.
And about how powerless I am when it comes to you, which is great.
I wanna say that I think that that is great.
And I value you.
And I hope that you're not thinking about breaking up with me, because that would make me feel a lot of not-good emotions and that would not be great.

Yep.
Really good news.

Because I'm pregnant.
I'm so sorry.
I knew it, you know? I knew I was either pregnant or crazy.
Is it really an either/or thing? No, Cal.
I have a life growing inside my womb.
Incubating Like a wasp egg inside of a caterpillar.

- And I'm fat.
Okay, obligatory "you're not fat" speech.
I'm getting fatter by the second.

Wednesday.
Quincy? You thought I was Jessica Rabbit, didn't you? Here's the deal.
You're gonna come with me, but it's gonna be dressy, casual.
But not like straight casual, more like gay casual, which is straight dressy.
How did you get this number? Kathy likes you so much, okay? And I feel like you and I need to just become, like, you know, like, really close, like, super friends.
Just, like, become super, like, fun, intimate, like, just fun friends, like, sharing life.
I feel like I have a moral and ethical responsibility, as her gay best friend.
I thought Cal was Kathy's gay best friend.
I have a moral and ethical responsibility, as her gayest best friend.
Okay.
Isn't 4:30 sort of early? Or late.
It depends on who you're asking, so calm down.
Yeah, no more questions.
I'm leaving, bye.
No.
Don't worry.
She's getting an abortion.
Jesus That's awful.
But yeah, yeah, she needs to start with, like, a plant or something and just work her way up.
On second thought not even a plant.
Don't tell Ian, by the way.
He doesn't know? Neither do you.

- Well, what? Okay.
Okay, what? Can I ask you something? I don't want to drudge up a bunch of old everything, but I have a question.
Scout's honor.
Did you Did you love him? [CHUCKLES.]
Don't laugh; he's a person.
No, I didn't.
You ever tell him otherwise? If I'm gonna be completely honest I liked being with him.
I know.
I mean, it wasn't just a physical thing.
Is this what you want to hear? I liked that I felt like a like a different person, maybe.
I think I know what you mean.
You do? Yeah.
And sometimes I feel like I am a different person.
This feeling just comes over me and I don't think about anyone else.
And I'm just I'm capable of anything.
I know the feeling.
You do? Lately.
I'm trying, Cal.
I really need you to know that I'm trying.
I know.
He's been calling me.
I know I should have told you earlier, but he's been calling me.
And I asked him to stop.
I just want you to know that.
And, um Also, I want you to know I slept with him the day that I ended things after you knew.
I know I should have told Just once more for old time's sake? What? Maybe.
I don't know.
I don't, I don't I don't know what I was thinking.
And I look back on it, and it feels like it wasn't even me.
It was you, Thom Sorry.
